"No, wait a moment."

Soon, Fang Mo realized something was wrong: "What did you just say... What exactly did Tatsumaki agree to?"

"Huh?"

Saitama was also a bit confused after hearing this: "She just agreed, is there any problem with that?"

"...Got it."

Hearing this, Fang Mo couldn't help but rub his forehead. He then turned to Xiao Yao next to him and said, "So this is the Kiyosumi Universe."

"Wait, wait!"

However, at this moment, Fubuki, who was standing next to Saitama, reacted and said directly to Fang Mo: "I thought my sister's behavior was a bit off just now. I thought I might have misunderstood... Now that I think about it, you must have said something strange, right?"

Saitama was taken aback upon hearing this: "I thought that was just how you sisters interacted with each other..."

"No way."

Upon hearing this, Fubuki sighed: "My sister is usually very controlling and would never let me do as I please. But today she indeed seemed a bit strange... Fortunately, you are ridiculously strong; otherwise, my sister would have taken me back again."

"No, what on earth are you all talking about in riddles?"

Hearing the exchange between the two, Fang Mo couldn't help but complain: "Bro, I do have a localization mod, but it can't translate riddles. Can you speak clearly?"

"Anyway, here's what happened..."

Surprisingly, Fubuki had a rather good attitude and quickly explained the whole situation to Fang Mo.

In general, it was more or less as Fang Mo had guessed.

Stimulated by Fang Mo, Tatsumaki indeed went to trouble Saitama while in a fit of rage.

But even though this is a reset universe, Saitama is still the top combatant here, so Tatsumaki couldn't possibly cause him any real trouble. After a minor conflict... Fubuki quickly explained the situation, and upon seeing her sister's attitude, Tatsumaki seemed to suddenly understand.

Clearly, Tatsumaki realized she might have been tricked by Fang Mo.

According to her sister Fubuki's explanation, this bald guy Saitama... was actually a new member of Fubuki's 'Blizzard Group'.

Just a moment ago, Fang Mo had slandered the two of them by saying they were in a relationship.

Tatsumaki seriously tested the two, but since Saitama is a blockhead, she quickly judged that he was likely just her sister's group member and not a boyfriend.

Moreover, Fang Mo had a history of playing tricks on others, so Tatsumaki was more inclined to believe what she saw.

As for Tatsumaki's change in attitude, it was actually quite simple.

After all, Saitama is absurdly strong, something Tatsumaki could sense. She was quite pleased that her sister managed to recruit such a powerful member... although Tatsumaki wished for Fubuki to become stronger herself, she was aware of her sister's limitations and thus approved of her recruiting strategy.

Fang Mo had previously mentioned her strong control issues, so Tatsumaki was considering whether to slightly change this aspect of her personality.

Because she genuinely cared about her sister.

"Hmm, I see."

After listening to Fubuki's explanation, Fang Mo nodded in realization and then turned to Xiao Yao beside him to complain: "Damn, that scared me. I thought this was really the Kiyosumi Universe..."

"Are you scared?"

However, Xiao Yao was not sympathetic and gave Fang Mo a disdainful look: "Why do I see disappointment written all over your face?"

"Don't mind those details."

Fang Mo waved his hand dismissively.

"Um, Priest," Just as they were chatting, others started arriving at the scene, and Bang directly addressed Fang Mo: "Have you seen Garou before?"

"Oh, yes."

Fang Mo nodded and said straightforwardly: "Your disciple has become the final boss of the Monster Association."

"This... what..."

Bang's expression changed noticeably upon hearing this: "What's his condition now? Could it be..."

At this, Bang instinctively looked around, only to see a scene resembling hell. The former abandoned area of Z City, the outskirts, and the surrounding coastal areas had all collapsed into a massive crater filled with the remains of monsters and traces of battle.

"Oh, don't worry, he's not dead."

Fang Mo reassured him: "He just had a sudden illness and turned into an edgy monster. I've already sent Dr. Boros to treat him with electrotherapy."

"Pardon my intrusion, but the Dr. Boros you mentioned..."

"Is the Emperor of the Universe, Boros!"

Fang Mo said directly.

"Boros?" Bang was stunned: "The cosmic monster that invaded A City last time? The god-level disaster prophesied by Shibabawa?"

"Yes."

Fang Mo nodded: "Your disciple can now fight him on equal terms, impressive, right?"

"..."

Bang was at a loss for words upon hearing this.

Originally, he intended to save Garou. If there was no way to save his disciple, Bang at least hoped to end Garou's life with his own hands, as he truly did not want to see Garou besieged to death by other heroes. Such an ending would be too tragic.

However, it now seemed... things had gone beyond his expectations.

While Bang was unsure of what to do next, on the other side, Pig God suddenly remembered something and looked down at Fang Mo.

"Priest," Pig God said, "May I ask you something? Earlier, I saved a group of mercenaries controlled by monsters and hid them in a building. Is that building still intact?"

"Hmm," Fang Mo scratched his head instinctively, "Why don't you go check on that building again? If you can find it, it should be fine."

"And... if I can't find it?" Pig God looked around. The entire crater showed no trace of any buildings; everything was in ruins. Some building remnants were even thrown into the sea by immense force. Frankly, she couldn't understand how this was possible. Is this truly a power that a human can possess?

"Then they are likely gone," Fang Mo shrugged. "But you needn't worry too much. If worse comes to worst, you can ask hmmm... oh, that guy is called (z city agent). Ask him for a list, and I will resurrect them for free."

"..."

Pig God was speechless upon hearing this. Truth be told, she regretted spitting those people out. If she had kept them in her stomach for protection, they might still be alive now, unlike the current uncertain situation.

"Let's put this matter aside for now." At this moment, Fubuki suddenly spoke again, "Priest, can you put Psykos down or at least cover her with some clothes? This appearance is rather indecent, isn't it?"

"Hmm?" Fang Mo turned to look at Psykos. Indeed, he was still holding her by the ankle. She had passed out and was now in an extremely awkward and inappropriate position.

"Oh, fine," Fang Mo said, and casually dropped Psykos like a piece of garbage.

"Miss Fubuki, this person is a very dangerous monster," TankTop Master remarked, kindly reminding Fubuki, "She is one of the executives of the Monster Association. According to Priest, she founded the Monster Association in secret. Therefore, she is extremely dangerous."

"I... kind of figured," Fubuki nodded and sighed, "I should have guessed it was her... Psykos, the former vice president of the Psychic Association. She left because of our disagreements, and I haven't seen her since. I didn't expect she would do something so crazy behind our backs."

"So, what do we do with her now?" Saitama glanced at Psykos and pondered, "She still looks human... Do we call the police? Or hand her over to the Hero Association?"

"For such a dangerous individual, I suggest immediate incineration," Genos raised his hand while saying this.

"..."

Fubuki, hearing the others' opinions, didn't say anything. She just pursed her lips instinctively. It was clear she was still somewhat reluctant, but given the current situation, she didn't know what to do. She took off her coat and covered Psykos with it.

Before she could think of any solution, a large group of footsteps approached from not far away.

Everyone turned to see that the entire Hero Association's main force had arrived, including most S-class heroes, other rank heroes, and some staff members from the Association headquarters.

"Can someone tell me... what exactly happened here?" asked Atomic Samurai, looking confused as he approached. "What's with this huge crater? What happened to the abandoned area of Z City? Where is the Monster Association?"

"Priest, your premature actions this time were rather reckless," remarked Sekingar, the event coordinator. "Leaving aside the level of destruction, your actions disrupted the Association's entire plan..."

"So what?" Fang Mo nonchalantly spread his hands, "Should I withdraw my investment?"

"Sorry, my tone was abrupt," Sekingar's attitude changed dramatically, bowing respectfully. "It seems the battle was intense. Our support may have arrived late. Are you injured?"

"Priest, did you act in advance again?" After Sekingar spoke, Child Emperor also walked over and asked, "Was it to prevent potential traitors? Do you suspect there is a traitor among us?"

Yes, the plan to attack the Monster Association on the second day, as set by the association previously, was to prevent any internal leaks. However, Child Emperor had already learned about it through his own channels, and Fang Mo had inexplicably attacked the Monster Association ahead of everyone else. This made him think that Fang Mo might also be worried about internal leaks.

Actually, if it were before, Child Emperor would most likely have suspected that Fang Mo, acting on his own, was the mole. But after that night's heart-to-heart talk, Child Emperor's perception of Fang Mo had changed significantly. He subconsciously made many excuses for him, thinking it was impossible for Fang Mo to be the mole.

After all, Fang Mo was one of the biggest sponsors of the Hero Association. Who would have a mole that acts like that? Rather than suspect Mr. Priest, to be honest, Child Emperor now suspected the internal workings of the association more, because he had seen many confidential documents before. Those dark and corrupt things had indeed left a significant impact on his still young self. If it hadn't been for Fang Mo's earlier guidance, Child Emperor might have doubted life itself by now.

Even Bang, who was originally suspected by the association as the mole, was not so repulsive to Child Emperor anymore.

Child Emperor glanced at Bang, who was standing not far away with a perplexed and helpless expression. Judging from Bang's usual behavior, he felt that Bang was unlikely to be a mole. On the contrary, framing the third-ranked S-Class hero, Silver Fang, as the mole might actually be the true mole's plan.

"Oh, almost," Fang Mo casually nodded in response to Child Emperor's question and then explained the situation to everyone, "Anyway, the matter here has been settled by me... Look, the culprit is lying on the ground."

Hearing Fang Mo's words, everyone turned their attention to the ground.

"A woman?" Zombie Man frowned instinctively upon seeing her. She didn't look like a monster at all. "What's going on here?"

"You say she is the culprit?"

Atomic Samurai also seemed a bit skeptical, scratching his head in confusion.

Of course, it wasn't just him. The other heroes also found it hard to believe. After all, the unconscious woman on the ground, Psykos, looked like a victim. If Fang Mo hadn't said anything, they would have thought she was a victim. Now, suddenly saying she was the culprit... it was really hard to believe.

However, unlike the other heroes, there was indeed a hero who believed Fang Mo's words.

"There is... a faint scent of a monster on her." While everyone was puzzled, a tall and handsome man slowly pushed his way through the crowd. However, his expression seemed somewhat ferocious, "Since she's a monster... justice must be executed."

"Wait, Sweet Mask, what are you doing?" Atomic Samurai immediately spoke up, "Even if she is a monster, as the culprit of the Monster Association, we should at least capture her first and hand her over to the association for interrogation, right? She might still hold many secrets!"

"What?" Sweet Mask looked at Atomic Samurai with a terrifying expression, "Are you trying to spare a monster?"

"You seem very dissatisfied..." Atomic Samurai also got annoyed, "What, do you want to fight me?"

"You think I don't dare..."

"Wait!"

Just as the confrontation was about to escalate, a familiar voice suddenly interrupted them from the crowd.

Quickly, a figure pushed through the surrounding heroes. It was obviously Narinki, desperate to save his son. He rushed to Fang Mo and asked, "Priest, where is my son? What happened here? Is my son Wagama alright?"

"Oh, don't worry, he's fine," Fang Mo said, opening a portal and pulling someone out, "Here you go."

"This... this isn't my son," Narikin said in shock, looking at Snoot Boy in front of him.

"Sorry, wrong one," Fang Mo shrugged and made a quick switch, pulling Waganma out. Unexpectedly, as soon as Waganma saw Fang Mo, he began wailing, "Daddy! Save me! This guy wants to sacrifice me to the Original God!"

"Huh?"
